Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Kathy - hope some boys join! I asked my 12 y/o about the group. His first reaction " no. " I asked him wouldn't he like to read/talk to other kids with OCD; and I said he wouldn't have to type anything, he could just read what the others say - then if he ever wanted to comment on something, he could. So he said " maybe " but don't sign him up yet. I guess " lurking " will be OK with this group won't it? One more question - if I do manage to get him interested, he turns 13 in January. Could he still be in the group - his maturity level is much younger. Thanks, and it's a great idea. The other group for teenagers is a lot more mature, way too mature for him! > Hi Everyone, > > I wanted to let you all know that the OCDKids list is now up and ready to > run. We just need the kids!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hi Of course can lurk and I too hope we'll have some boys join. As long as he seems develpomentally on the same level as the other kids, I don't think we'd have to boot him off the list on his birthday. Hope he decides to join us.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Thanks Kathy M! It's funny how my twins are apparently " level " with their intellectual age, I guess, as they do well in school. It's just that emotionally and behaviorally they seem soooo young, still elementary age! I was watching them play with a neighborhood kid in 2nd grade (but as tall as my who's in 7th and very short!) and marveling at how age didn't seem to matter. The dad said he may invite them over to play with his son sometime - so I guess he noticed too. Then again, I can look at it like his 2nd grade son is probably a little " mature " what with 2 older brothers. My 16 y/o is embarrassed by them tho. I may go ahead and subscribe for soon and show him how to get into the group and then just leave it up to him about reading/joining in. Thanks again! > > > >> Hi Everyone, > > > >> > > > >> I wanted to let you all know that the OCDKids list is now up and > > > >ready to > > > >> run. We just need the kids!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Can you give me the address of the " other group for teenagers " - I didn't know one existed. Also, are there any support groups like this for parents or teenagers in the UK. Ibrowse through theses messages and although they give some support and encouragement, some of the material, particularly relating to healthcare/education systems and facilities available (and even the names of medication) are different to ours in the UK. Thanks, Colin (N. Ireland) Re: OCDKidsSupportGroup Kathy - hope some boys join! I asked my 12 y/o about the group. His first reaction " no. " I asked him wouldn't he like to read/talk to other kids with OCD; and I said he wouldn't have to type anything, he could just read what the others say - then if he ever wanted to comment on something, he could.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 My son would probably ( I need to talk to him about this) join in a kids support group. He was absolutely fascinated when he discovered that I had so many emails from OCDand parenting. He will be 12 in March. Keep me informed about this support group.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Kathy Mc, just wanted to let you know that enjoys the OCDKids group. He's one of the lurkers and I haven't got him to post but, what? maybe twice. Once to introduce himself I know. Anyway, he really enjoys reading the others' posts. I have to be there as he's too repetitive with the computer keys and/or sometimes just ask me to do " whatever " on the computer while he sits and looks. So I've gotten to read a few of the kids' posts. And the 1 or 2 he did post, he dictated to me. When I've mentioned a post I/he's read like " oh, you could respond to that subject " he's always " later, not now. " But I can tell that he DOES enjoy reading them. And I've even repeated here at home what one of the kids mentioned about her OCD homework about going through doors - something like " 1, 2, 3, 4 - I'm going through the door. " has trouble with doors at times and I'll say it and give a little shove before he's ready to go through. I think he's sorry I read that post! He smiled the 1st time I said it to him tho can't get him to say it. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that even though he's not posting, he IS enjoying reading the posts. And I hope eventually he'll feel more comfortable posting. Thanks again for starting the group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
